Mine is a combination of things ... As a youngster living in France, there was a field not far from our house that gypies would use to set up camp. I was always fascinated by them, the music, the noise, all the kids running around. Plus, gypsies move about from place to place, and that was my life for most of my childhood, so it worked on several different levels. As for the firefly, a friend once asked, if I had to choose, would I be a butterfly or a firefly? To me, a butterfly is ethereal, soft, beautiful, fragile - none of which I saw myself as. The firefly part just sort of fit and stuck. I tend to be shy, even reserved at times, so if/when I let my light shine just depends on who and the circumstances, when it happens. We are all wanderers on this earth. Our hearts full of wonder, our souls deep with dreams. ~ Gypsy Proverb
